Back Patio - Before and During Project

We had made good use of our small back patio over the past 12 years, but we were ready for a change.

When we moved here in '99, Phillip had plans of putting in a hot tub, eventually. Now that the girls and Benjamin had outgrown the sandbox, the space was available.

Several other things got the project moving along. The wall behind the ivy needed replaced due to rotting wood, then a few months later we got termites. It was recommended that we remove all the dirt and wood chips from the sides of the house.

Hi Kelli. I've been thinking about you quite a bit the last couple of days. Why? I was thinking about how you used to host Fridays Show & Tell and how I went to your blog regularly and that I hadn't been here in a long time. So this morning I decided to pay you a little visit. I absolutely adore you beautiful patio. I know you will enjoy many hours out there. I hope you have a wonderful day, week, year, LIFE.Hugs & blessings,Charlotte

Welcome! My name is Kelli and I am originally from Canada, but now enjoy living in Texas with my three teenagers.
I'm a work-at-home mom and in my spare time I love to decorate, thrift store treasure hunt, bake, and celebrate the four seasons.
Please join me as I share photos and stories, along with some recipes and favorite things thrown in for good measure!
